I'm trying to play an adidas downloaded game but it seems that I can't really run it. The graphics are terrible..

Before going in the game it will say " Not enough Video memeory"

JHow do I increase my vid memory?

I'm using Direct X 8.1 . Will downloading Direc X 9 Beta work?

crackerz:- I can't find the graphics tab button to locate my graphic card....any idea? (..or do I have a graphic card?)

I guess ur rite grassy. My Pc can't support agems like this But funny it can support FWC 2002 but not to the full acceleration.
The PC can't even support the Tony Hawk game for PC...argh.!

my guess from what u said is that you most likely have a built in graphic card... how to check.. just right mouse click when u r on your desktop and select properties.. or just go to control panel and select display icon... it will show all the information u want for your display card...

Here follow this:

Click Start > Run and copy and paste the line below in the text box:

"C:\Program Files\directx\setup\DxDiag.lnk"

and click OK......It will then launch the DXDIAG......
On the top, click > Display and it will show you some detailed infos about ur card..........
